The '''Poké Radar''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーサー''' ''Pokémon Tracer'', '''ポケトレ''' ''Poké Trace'' for short) is a [[key item]] in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation VI]] that is used to seek out [[wild Pokémon]] hiding in tall grass.

==In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum==
[[File:Bag Poké Radar Sprite.png|frame|right]]
After the {{player}} has seen every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], they will be able to meet [[Professor Oak]] in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab in [[Sandgem Town]]. After Oak upgrades the [[Pokédex]] to the [[National Pokédex|National model]], Rowan will give the player the Poké Radar but will not explain it very thoroughly. In {{game|Platinum}} the opposite-gender character, Dawn or Lucas, do however - when spoken to they give a practical demonstration on [[Sinnoh Route 202|Route 202]] if the player has received an {{p|Eevee}} from [[Bebe]] in [[Hearthome City]].

It can only be used in the standard [[tall grass]], while on foot, at which point a tune will begin to play, and up to four patches of the long grass may begin to move for a brief period of time (in which the player cannot move). Patches that shake more violently than others are often rarer Pokémon; some Pokémon can only be found using the Poké Radar. When a player walks into a patch of grass that was shaking, a {{pkmn|battle}} with a wild Pokémon will instantly begin. [[Roaming Pokémon]] cannot be encountered while using the Poké Radar. Like the [[Vs. Seeker]], the Radar's battery must be charged after use by walking around. It takes fifty steps to fully charge the Poké Radar. It is possible for the Poké Radar to find no wild Pokémon, in which case the message "''The grassy patch remained silent...''" will be displayed. There is a very rare type of shaking grass that glows white twice rather than shaking. This special kind of grass always holds a {{Shiny}} Pokémon.

The game generates up to 4 patches of shaking grass each time the radar is activated. There is potentially one patch of shaking grass in each "ring" of grass around the spot where the player is, up to 4 steps away. Each "ring" consists of all the grass patches that are a certain number of spaces from the player, vertically, horizontally or diagonally. For example, the first "ring" consist of all the patches of grass that are just 1 step from the player, (forming a 3x3 square), the second "ring" are all the patches that are 2 steps from the player (forming a 5x5 square), and so on. It is possible that less than 4 patches of grass are seen shaking. That means that the patch that was selected by the game to shake was not a patch of grass.

[[File:PokéRadarShinyProbability.png|thumb|right|The formula for the probability of finding a Shiny Pokémon. Nc is the number of Pokémon in the chain, up to 40. The chances are calculated so that any shaking patch found in or after a chain of 40 has a 1 in 200 probability of being Shiny.]]

If the Pokémon that is found is [[fainting|knocked out]] or {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in a [[Poké Ball]], a ''chain'' will begin. These chains consist of multiple members of the same [[Pokémon]] species encountered one after another. A chain breaks if the player finds a Pokémon other than the one that is being chained, if he/she runs from a battle or if they find any Pokémon outside the shaking grass (even if it is of the same species that is being chained). Therefore, it is recommended that [[Repel]] is used in order to ensure this and achieve a higher chain. Entering the patch of shaking grass that is the farthest away from the previous patch of grass (in the fourth "ring" of grass) increases the chances of meeting the same kind of Pokémon consecutively. If, in the middle of a chain, a Pokémon ceases to become available (such as a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]]), that Pokémon will continue to be available until the chain is broken. The player can "reset" the radar in the middle of the chain without breaking it, simply by recharging the radar and avoiding the current grass patches that have Pokémon in them. When activated again, the radar will generate new patches and the old ones become normal grass patches.

The chance of finding a {{Shiny}} Pokémon patch increases the longer the chain is. This chance maxes out at chain #40, in which the chance of finding a shiny grass patch is 1/200, a substantial increase from the usual 1/8192. Furthermore, the shiny grass patch always contains the Pokémon that is being chained, so there is no risk of breaking the chain when entering one. A Shiny Pokémon can appear in a normal grass patch, however, but the chances of that happening are the same as normal.

One of the many functions of the [[Pokétch]] is to {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter|display the current chain}} and the three best chains made so far.

==In HeartGold and SoulSilver==
{{main|Pokéwalker#Poké Radar|Pokéwalker}}
On the [[Pokéwalker]] that is bundled with [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]] there is a primitive version of the Poké Radar, which costs 10 Watts to use. In this Poké Radar, there are four patches of grass, one of which will display a '!' which indicates the presence of a wild Pokémon (or a '!!' or '!!!' depending on the Pokémon's rarity). As with chaining in the main series games, chaining is also possible in the Pokéwalker, but it is dependent on timing and the amount of steps taken. If the player waits a while after a '!' appears and click it, there is a chance that he/she may get another '!' patch, over-riding the previous one. If the player continues this trend he/she will get a '!!' patch , and then a '!!!' patch after that. The timing needed to wait seems to vary between the rarity of the Pokémon, with rarer Pokémon needing less time.

==In X and Y==
The Poké Radar makes a return in Pokémon X and Y, functioning much the same as in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. It is received by the player once he or she has defeated the Elite 4, by talking to the scientist on the second floor of Professor Sycamore's Lab.

'''Lumiose City''' (Japanese: '''ミアレシティ''' ''Miare City'') is a large city nestled in the north-central part of the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. Standing in the center of the city is a tall tower, which serves as its symbol. The wide roadways are paved with brick and cobblestone, allowing both automobile and {{p|Gogoat}} traffic safe and easy travel.

==Trivia==
* Many locations around the [[Pokémon world]] are featured in various paintings inside the Lumiose Museum.
** One particular painting on the top floor is likely a reference to {{wp|Leonardo da Vinci}}. The audio guide describes the painting's artist as a polymath, and the painting itself is similar in appearance to many of da Vinci's red chalk drawings.

===Glitches===
[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in]]
At the time of release of {{g|X and Y}}, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25th, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.

==Origin==
Lumiose City and [[Prism Tower]] are based on {{wp|Paris}} and the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} respectively.

'''Team Flare''' (Japanese: '''フレア{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Flare-dan'', literally ''Flare Gang'') is a [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

==In the games==
Team Flare appears in [[Pokémon X and Y|X and Y]]. Their goal is to produce money, while also aiming for a "beautiful and better" world. They are first encountered in [[Glittering Cave]] where they attempt to steal the fossils of the researcher working there. They are stopped by the player. Once defeated, they appear in a scene in {{rt|10|Kalos}}, examining the mysterious rock formation. The player is spotted by one grunt who wants revenge for their plans having been ruined in [[Glittering Cave]]. Once defeated, they are next spotted in [[Geosenge Town]], where they are examining the rock formations there. In {{rt|13|Kalos}}, they are found ciphering electricity from the power plant and blocking the entrance to [[Lumiose City]] as well as causing a black-out across the city, preventing the player from accessing the fifth gym. They are defeated once more here by the player. They do not appear again until the player has received their seventh badge from the [[Anistar City]] gym, where Team Flare's leader, Lysandre, sends out a live broadcast to all trainers via the holo caster. In this broadcast, Lysandre states that Team Flare plans on wiping out all life on earth by using the "ultimate weapon", a machine that was built by the king of Kalos 3,000 years ago and had exterminated all life in Kalos for many years. Lysandre's plan is to use the legendary Pokémon of Kalos ([[Xerneas]] in version X, [[Yveltal]] in version Y) to activate the machine in Lysandre Labs in [[Lumiose City]]. After the player arrives, they watch as the weapon emerges from the ground of [[Geosenge Town]]. Lysandre is eventually forced to cease operation once the player defeats him and is chosen by the legendary Pokemon to save Kalos. Lysandre uses what remains of the legendary Pokemon's Power in the machine to destroy it and crush himself as well. Once Lysandre is crushed by the weapon, Team Flare is disbanded.

== Typebattle template title "Resist" is mathematically inaccurate with current values. ==

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Typebattle

Saying resist is mathematically incorrect if you keep the numbers as multiplication values.

Its valid for the 1/2x part since when you resist half the damage you take the other half.

However you are not resisting 2x the damage. That would be the same as resisting 200% of the attack. Resisting 100% or more would result in taking no damage at all. Resisting 0% would mean that you are resisting no damage and therefore taking 100% of the initial amount.

If you want to stick with the values being multipliers to the original attack i would recommend you to use another word like multiplyer, power or effectiveness.

:Pokemon templates should only be used like that where there is something special about the Pokemon (Abnormal ability, abnormal moveset, etc.).

:.[[Drowzee (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)]] That page is about Drowzee. As such, it has the full description, including the template. [[Mt.

==AG132 Trainer's Choice Error==
1. It is ''not'' an assumption. I have seen every single episode with a Trainer's Choice, and every single one that asked "Which would be most effective against..?" or "Which Pokémon has the advantage?", it ''always'' meant types. '''Always.'''
2. If it's "still an error," why, pray tell, did you delete it?
3. You should tell that to Dennou Zenshi. "Didn't I just remove it?" he/she says, as if he/she is infallible.
4. I go to Talk pages to discuss something questionable. This is not questionable. It's quite obvious that Kirlia is being mistaken for a Grass-type. You wanna talk about assumption? Ask Dennou why he/she thinks that this TC could ''possibly'' be about Arcanine's ''stats'' and ''learnset''. Really?! That is laughably baseless. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 11:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
:It's not obvious at all that they mistook Kirlia for a Grass-type, since [[M06]] and [[AG109]] made it clear that Kirlia is a Psychic-type. On the other hand, it ''is'' obvious that the "legendary" Arcanine is better than Kirlia, who is weaker than many unevolved Pokémon.

There are many errors that end up being ties, with no Pokémon having an advantage over the stated one.

:::My apologies, I should have only removed half of the point.

== Navigation templates ==

In many navigation templates, I see the " • ", but in others I see " | ". Should I change them to one way or another, or just let it be? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:58, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
:Just let it be. Different templates call for different things. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:32, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

== New Tournament infobox ==

How does [[User:Abcboy/sandbox/TournamentInfobox|this]] look? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
:Firsly, it needs to be roundy to match our style. I know you've based it on the game screen, but it still should be roundy because otherwise it looks out of place. Also because following the game design that strictly means that if it gets redesigned in future games, the template looks bad. They're 'inspired' by the game design, rather than emulating it.

:Secondly, the align tags need to be replaced. Content alignment (i.e. text and images) can be done with the "text-align" style (i.e. <code>style="text-align:left/right/center;"</code>), while table alignment can be done with the float style for left or right (i.e. <code>style="float:left/right;"</code>) or the margin style for centering (i.e. <code>style="margin:auto;"</code>). This is important because the align tags are deprecated and only currently working on a backwards-compatability setup which could stop working at any time.

:Other than those two minor things, nice work on the template. It's a nice code setup. Just don't be afraid to mess around with the styles from the game. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:00, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
::How does it look now? I just wrapped that splash of green around the top, removed several of the old dividers leaving only one, and made it roundier! It doesn't really conform to the Bulbapedia style, but I think it looks pretty good. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:44, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
:::Much better. The code's good and the design's good. I'm going to need to discuss it with a few other staff and get back to you just for the content, because I don't know that much about the PWT. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:14, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::::[[User:Abcboy/sandbox/NewBerry|This]] is something I want to do to the Berry pages, along with moving the growth template to the growth section.

== Language support templates ==

I was looking at Wikipedia and they have some nice language support templates such as {{wp|Template:Nihongo}}, {{wp|Template:Korean}} and {{wp|Template:Zh}}. The Japanese one is particularly useful as it renders kanji properly. I was thinking on adding them to Bulbapedia but would like to know the staff's opinion on them. If they are accepted, I would ask Wikipedia for permission of usage of the templates here (please note that I do not have an account there) and try them out in my sandbox here first. What do you think? [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 13:17, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:If I'm not mistaken, we already use the same code that those templates use to display the characters. It's an html attribute, <code>lang="ja"</code> ("ja" is replaced with "ko" or "zh" for the latter two templates). The reason that ours may appear distorted is that, depending on where they are used, the characters are subsequently bolded and/or reduced in size. I have noticed that it becomes very difficult to read in templates where both are done. In short, I don't think we need the template as we (should) already use the relevant code that it contains. If there's somewhere the language code isn't used, it most certainly should be, and you're welcome to add it: <code><nowiki>Kanji goes here</nowiki></code> [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::Okay, correction, it appears that we're certainly not using that code everywhere. I know for certain that some templates do. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:36, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:::Well, I don't like them solely for the proper rendering of kanji. It's also because the templates help to standardize the way the Japanese/Korean/Chinese names should appear on articles. They also have the parameters <code>lead=yes</code> and <code>lead=no</code>, which allows the reader to know which written non-English language is he/she reading, with that element being present in the first instance of the language ''only''. It also helps in situations when there's no English equivalent to the Japanese/Korean/Chinese name, allowing the text to appear differently ordered to accomodate the situation. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 19:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::::I'm still not sure it's necessary. The usage of Japanese text is pretty much standardised already, with an identification. (i.e. the opening lines of the articles.) I can see where you're coming from, I just don't know if we need it, when things are hardcoded in a relatively (I would hope) similar manner. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:00, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::Well, I understand your point of view but please reconsider. It may be awkward at first but these specific templates help once we get used to them. At least, that's how I feel about them. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 14:27, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

== Infobox game update ==

I've tweaked and added some parameters to it as per feedback on the template's talk page as well as from my own ideas. Check the modified template [[User:SatoMew2/GameInfoboxTweaks|here]] and some tests with it [[User talk:SatoMew2/GameInfoboxTweaks|here]]. Basically, I did the following:
* Changed ''info'' in '''Basic info''' to ''information'' to be more professional and encyclopedic;
* Changed OFLC to ACB in the '''Ratings''' since the ratings were of the ACB, which was previously called OFLC, and also due to there being confusion over the independent OFLC from New Zealand. Furthermore, the OFLC from New Zealand is irrelevant as the Pokémon games released there are under control of Nintendo of Australia, the subsidiary of Nintendo for both Australia and New Zealand. Thus, the ratings for the games in these two countries are as per the ACB;
* Added the parameter for the OSK rating, which is the German rating system and is applicable to the Pokémon games;
* Added parameters to include the translations of Japanese names under the Japanese name, in smaller text (same size as Japanese text);
* Added other essential parameters about the games;
* Renamed various parameters, rendering the previous names obsolete and current usage of the template broken;
* Added "N/A" as fallback text for everything, for the sake of simplicity, consistency and to avoid showing the parameters themselves if there is a need to fallback to them.
Either way, wherever the template is used, those applications of it have to be updated. Still, what do you think? I believe it makes the template more accurate and complete now. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 20:52, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:Looks good to me. I don't suppose you'd be able to replace the align tags as described a couple of sections up? [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:00, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
::I've replaced the <code>align</code> tags as you suggested, since they are deprecated. I have also changed the template's default colors to match Bulbapedia (damn, that black and white sure were not that good-looking) and streamlined the code, with suggestions and help from Abcboy ([[User talk:SatoMew2#Your game infobox|see here]]).
:::Thanks, nice work. I pulled out a few of them that were carried over redundant tags from the old template (and a few due to minor changes in what the tags cover) and then put it into use. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:07, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

You seem to be the correct person to ask...

On anime pokemon move templates such as this:


* Poison Gas was used in the [[dub]] only. In the original Japanese version, Ash just said Muk's name, ''Betbeton''.

I tried to to take the note at the bottom and put it into the actual template, using tt|*| next to Poison Gas, in order to make it look neater howevr it comes out like this



is their anyway the template can be changed so that we can put the tt|*| inside it? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 16:26, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
:Adding a tooltip onto a parameter which autolinks will ''never'' work like that, because it's inside the link. The template needs the notes to be in parameter 4, which is alternate text and so can handle the tooltip template.

:Also, if a proposed usage of a template is broken, please don't save it as-is. Saving a broken template usage is likely to create other problems.

:Werdnae's away at the moment, but he gave me permission to respond to you in his stead. We feel relationship sections are not needed on character articles, as more than likely it will only lead to problems because of [[Shipping]].

That wasn't what I meant. What I'm trying to suggest is adding short summaries of some of the characters interactions, and for the shippings we'd just leave a link.

:That kind of information should be worked into the "Character" section, as their interactions with other people are a significant part of their character.

Otherwise, it's just whether one is significantly more important than the other (Also, English names always trump Japanese names) or they're equal importance. If there's numerous things, then it might get a disambig, if there's just a few and the 'main' article is small then a note at the top is easier. There's no real hard and fast rule, it's more of a 'is this working?' and 'what are people more likely to be looking for?'.

== Percentages ==

First of all, sorry if I'm talking to the wrong person, as far as the Bulbapedia hierarchy goes you seem pretty high so I thought I'd start here...
Basically I wanted to do a small information design project about pokemon types but discovered that the breakdown the types into percentages adds up to about 146%. Is there incorrect information or am I being a complete dope?

thanks

Edit: I was forgetting, cheers man. I'm off to buy a brain.

:I'm guessing that you're forgetting about dual-typed Pokémon. Because of them, the "This percent of Pokémon are XXX type" will always add to more than 100, because you're counting some twice. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 07:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

== Userspace permission ==

Small non-urgent question. I haven't been able to edit my userspace for years now it would seem, except I have been able to in the past. I don't remember any notification that my rights were removed (and I only edited it once a day, not to mention that was years ago). Can I know why I don't have the right and possibly how to fix that? Is it just a certain number of mainspace edits we need now? I'm mostly concerned about fixing way outdated information such as age. Thank you!

update: Seems to be resolved now. [[User:Ratikate|Ratikate]] ([[User talk:Ratikate|talk]]) 15:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

'''Giovanni''' (Japanese: '''サカキ''' ''Sakaki'') is one of the bosses of [[Team Rocket]].

==Character==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Giovanni serves much the same role as he does in the games, although he now has [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Koga]] as subordinates. However, Giovanni is much more directly ruthless in this series. For example, in one round, he uses his {{p|Cloyster}} to break two {{p|Magmar}} in half.

When he was still the Viridian Gym Leader, Giovanni had obtained the nickname "Giovanni Of The Land" because all his Pokémon were {{t|Ground}} types, save his Cloyster and Beedrill. Beedrill's exception is clear, as it was caught at Giovanni's birthplace (in Viridian Forest; so Giovanni prides it especially), but Cloyster's is hard to trace, as it does not appear to have any connection to Giovanni's past.

Giovanni wrote a book on the research of Ground-type Pokémon called ''Mysteries of the Earth'' that is currently in Blue's possession. The book contains detailed information on Ground-type Pokémon not known by anyone else. For instance, Giovanni was the first to discover Rhydon {{p|Rhyperior|could evolve}}.

==History==
==={{chap|Red, Green, & Blue}}===
Giovanni is first seen traveling with {{adv|Red}} under the guise of a friendly researcher off to study Fossils. As they leave the [[Diglett's Cave]] after a search for Fossils they find that the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] has been set ablaze by two wild {{p|Magmar}}. It is here that Giovanni's true agenda is revealed, to investigate Red and find out how he defeated his subordinates [[Lt. Surge]] and [[Koga]]. Giovanni watches Red defeat the Magmar in his unorthodox way and gives him an [[Old Amber]] as thanks while saying goodbye to him. The two Magmar then wake up from their sand prison and attack him; Giovanni has his {{p|Cloyster}} freeze and kill them. Giovanni laughs at the fact that someone like Red could defeat Team Rocket.

[[File:Giovanni RGB chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Giovanni in the first chapter]]

It is later revealed that he is attempting to capture the legendary Pokémon {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} and fuse them into a [[Zapmolcuno|single]], powerful weapon. He leaves this plan in the hands of his top subordinates Lt. Surge, Koga, and [[Sabrina]], but with the combined strength of the Kanto [[Pokédex Holder]]s, Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}}, the plan is destroyed.

When Red goes to the [[Viridian City Gym]] to find out what had happened to its missing Gym Leader, he finds Giovanni waiting inside for him. There, Giovanni reveals to Red that he is, in fact, the Viridian City Gym Leader and also the Leader of Team Rocket. Giovanni challenges the boy to a battle with a special condition: if Giovanni wins then Red will fight by his side as a member of Team Rocket. Red accepts the challenge and the two begin battling. In the end, Giovanni is defeated after an intense battle after Red uses techniques involving the Trainer and not just the Pokémon battling.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
Giovanni later appears at the summit of [[Cerise Island]] when {{adv|Yellow}} is battling the leader of the [[Elite Four]], [[Lance]]. It is revealed that he was the one who had freed Red from his icy prison created by [[Lorelei]] and gave him the [[evolutionary stone]]s of the Vermilion Bay that would allow him to evolve his [[Vee|Eevee]] multiple times. Giovanni does battle with Lance and uses his Pokémon to destroy the giant bubble that he was using to attack Yellow and protect himself from attacks. Just as it seems that Giovanni has the upper hand, Lance reveals that he had planned for this and that Giovanni had fallen into his trap. Lance reveals that Cerise Island is one giant Gym Badge amplification device and with Giovanni's Earth Badge, he can finally summon the giant {{p|Lugia|bird}} Pokémon. Seeing what Lance has summoned, Giovanni immediately takes off and leaves Yellow to fight him alone. He is seen witnessing Lance's defeat at the hands of Yellow. His subordinates, Sabrina, Lt. Surge, and Koga all meet up with him in hopes of starting up Team Rocket again but Giovanni dismisses them, he tells them to lay low and go to their Gyms until a more suitable time to revive Team Rocket comes.

[[File:Giovanni Y chapter.png|thumb|200px|right|Giovanni in the second chapter]]

==={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
Giovanni makes a brief cameo at the end of the fourth chapter where he finds the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} on a beach. He reveals that the gems are in fact the true forms of the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Red Orb}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Blue Orb}} that have taken their forms after being broken by {{adv|Ruby}}’s {{p|Celebi}}. He takes the gems and sets off with his mysterious henchmen to start a then unknown plan.

[[File:Giovanni RS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Giovanni in the fourth chapter]]
==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
Giovanni resurfaces in the [[Sevii Islands]], where he witnesses the mysterious {{p|Deoxys}} attack a gang of bikers that were planning to raid [[Kin Island]]. When the leader tries to ask Giovanni to save him from the "monster", Giovanni answers by swatting him away and having his Nidoking send the biker flying with {{m|Rock Tomb}}; he states that Deoxys isn't a monster, instead, it is the strongest Pokémon that ever existed.

He sends his newest group of henchmen, [[The Three Beasts]], to cause trouble on the Sevii Islands and distract the Kanto Pokédex Holders while he finishes polishing the Ruby and Sapphire; once he is done, he gives the gems to [[Sird]] so that Deoxys can finish its transformations. After Deoxys returns to [[Birth Island]] to heal the injuries it received in its battle with Red; here, Giovanni reveals his plan, to capture Deoxys and find his missing son. He sets off for Birth Island where he finds the resting Deoxys, battles with, and successfully captures it.

Giovanni makes his next appearance at [[Trainer Tower]] where he confronts the Kanto Pokédex Holders while they try to fend off the Deoxys Divide Clones. He is attacked by {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who is angry at him for creating it to be a weapon. Giovanni responds by trapping Mewtwo in a binding set of armor called the "M2Bind" and leaves the Pokédex Holders to be defeated by the Deoxys Divide Clones. Later, Giovanni uses Deoxys to search for his son; Deoxys locates him at Viridian City and Giovanni sets course for that location.

Giovanni eventually lands near the Viridian City Gym and sends [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] to find and retrieve his son. As he recuperates from the pain of his disease, Giovanni finds that Red and Mewtwo are flying towards him; he decides to get Red back for his previous defeat at the Viridian Gym and prepares for battle. Red eventually arrives on the Team Rocket airship and Giovanni issues a challenge; one-on-one, Mewtwo versus Deoxys; Red accepts and they begin battling each other.

Mewtwo and Deoxys each manage to get the upper hand on each other throughout the match but it seems like Mewtwo has won once it has attacked Deoxys’s core. Deoxys eventually recovers and severely injures Mewtwo by stabbing it in the back with its tentacles. Despite Mewtwo being heavily injured, it manages to recover and defeats Deoxys with a powerful attack, making Red the winner of the battle.

[[File:Giovanni FRLG chapter.png|thumb|200px|right|Giovanni in the fifth chapter]]

Giovanni collapses from his disease and is carried away by Orm so that he can finally meet his son, {{adv|Silver}}. As he rests in bed, Silver finds his father and sulks with disappointment because of the fact that no matter how hard he tries, the side of evil is always associated with him. Silver refuses to accept Giovanni as his father and attempts to leave, but Giovanni quickly stops him but before he can say anything, a power-hungry [[Carr]] hijacks the ship and attempts to crash it into Vermilion City. Red has Deoxys use its power to create black holes to suck Silver, his Sneasel, and Giovanni to safety.

Giovanni and Silver eventually exit the black hole, but, instead of a safe location like Red expected, Giovanni instead finds that they have landed near a flaming piece of wreckage from the airship. Giovanni holds Silver up to protect him from the flames; he comments about how proud he is of how he had grown. They are eventually saved by Blue's Rhydon; Silver still refuses to acknowledge Giovanni, a criminal, as his father and states that he should've left Giovanni to die in the flames. Blue reveals to Silver about how he was once like him and manages to convince him to accept his father; Silver then breaks down crying over Giovanni's unconscious body. Giovanni is taken away by Silver's Ursaring to Silver's Eighteenth Secret Base to rest from his injuries.

==={{Chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
For the most of this chapter, Giovanni's whereabouts were unknown as he had gone missing after Silver returned to his secret hideout.

During the battle with {{p|Arceus}}, [[Petrel]] attempts to escape from his insane leader, [[Archer]]. When he does, he disguises himself as the Team Rocket leader, only to be attacked by Giovanni's {{p|Ursaring}}. There, the real Giovanni, along with [[Pryce]] and [[Lance]], appear in order to combat the {{p|Dialga|three}} {{p|Palkia|legendary}} {{p|Giratina|Pokémon}} that would threaten the Johto region. While Pryce goes after Dialga and Lance faces Palkia, Giovanni battles Giratina with his son's Ursaring.

Pryce reveals that after he returned from the crack in time, he encountered Giovanni at the [[Ilex Forest]], who was looking for {{p|Celebi}} so that he could get a cure for his disease. When Giovanni saw Pryce, he immediately attacked Pryce and would have killed him if it weren't for the intervention of Lance, who told them of the events going on at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Although reluctant, Giovanni agrees to help and has [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken, Al, and Harry]] guard the Ilex Forest while Celebi searches for the herbs for his cure.

Eventually, his disease gets the better of him, preventing Giovanni from continuing the battle against Giratina. Immediately, Silver steps in and attacks Giratina to defend his ailing father. After Arceus is calmed down and the three Pokémon leave, Ken, Al, Harry, and Celebi arrive with the cure to Giovanni's disease. The cure works, and Giovanni becomes completely healthy again. Now cured, Giovanni decides to lead Team Rocket once more, as he still has some evil in his heart.

He offers Silver a position in Team Rocket, but Silver declines and promises to change his father's evil ways one day. Giovanni accepts his son's decision and tells him to grow stronger under Lance and Pryce's teaching in the hopes that they will battle someday.

Beedrill debuted during Giovanni's battle with {{adv|Red}}, where it ended up being knocked out by {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Aero}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}. It later appeared when Giovanni came to help {{adv|Yellow}} in the battle against [[Lance]] at the [[Cerise Island]], where Giovanni used it to burst the giant bubble which Lance had been using to protect himself and his Pokémon.

Red eventually arrives on the Team Rocket airship and Giovanni issues a challenge; one-on-one, Mewtwo versus Deoxys; Red accepts and they begin battling each other.

Mewtwo and Deoxys each manage to get the upper hand on each other throughout the match but it seems like Mewtwo has won once it has attacked Deoxys’s core. Deoxys eventually recovers and severely injures Mewtwo by stabbing it in the back with its tentacles. Despite Mewtwo being heavily injured, it manages to recover and defeats Deoxys with a powerful attack, making Red the winner of the battle.

Giovanni collapses from his disease and is carried away by Orm so that he can finally meet his son, {{adv|Silver}}. As he rests in bed, Silver finds his father and sulks with disappointment because of the fact that no matter how hard he tries, the side of evil is always associated with him. Silver refuses to accept Giovanni as his father and attempts to leave, but Giovanni quickly stops him but before he can say anything, a power-hungry [[Carr]] hijacks the ship and attempts to crash it into Vermilion City. Red has Deoxys use its power to create black holes to suck Silver, his Sneasel, and Giovanni to safety.

Giovanni and Silver eventually exit the black hole, but, instead of a safe location like Red expected, Giovanni instead finds that they have landed near a flaming piece of wreckage from the airship. Giovanni holds Silver up to protect him from the flames; he comments about how proud he is of how he had grown. They are eventually saved by Blue's Rhydon; Silver still refuses to acknowledge Giovanni, a criminal, as his father and states that he should've left Giovanni to die in the flames. Blue reveals to Silver about how he was once like him and manages to convince him to accept his father; Silver then breaks down crying over Giovanni's unconscious body. Giovanni is taken away by Silver's Ursaring to Silver's Eighteenth Secret Base to rest from his injuries.

==={{Chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
For the most of this chapter, Giovanni's whereabouts were unknown as he had gone missing after Silver returned to his secret hideout.

During the battle with {{p|Arceus}}, [[Petrel]] attempts to escape from his insane leader, [[Archer]]. When he does, he disguises himself as the Team Rocket leader, only to be attacked by Giovanni's {{p|Ursaring}}. There, the real Giovanni, along with [[Pryce]] and [[Lance]], appear in order to combat the {{p|Dialga|three}} {{p|Palkia|legendary}} {{p|Giratina|Pokémon}} that would threaten the Johto region. While Pryce goes after Dialga and Lance faces Palkia, Giovanni battles Giratina with his son's Ursaring.

Pryce reveals that after he returned from the crack in time, he encountered Giovanni at the [[Ilex Forest]], who was looking for {{p|Celebi}} so that he could get a cure for his disease. When Giovanni saw Pryce, he immediately attacked Pryce and would have killed him if it weren't for the intervention of Lance, who told them of the events going on at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Although reluctant, Giovanni agrees to help and has [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken, Al, and Harry]] guard the Ilex Forest while Celebi searches for the herbs for his cure.

Eventually, his disease gets the better of him, preventing Giovanni from continuing the battle against Giratina. Immediately, Silver steps in and attacks Giratina to defend his ailing father. After Arceus is calmed down and the three Pokémon leave, Ken, Al, Harry, and Celebi arrive with the cure to Giovanni's disease. The cure works, and Giovanni becomes completely healthy again. Now cured, Giovanni decides to lead Team Rocket once more, as he still has some evil in his heart.

He offers Silver a position in Team Rocket, but Silver declines and promises to change his father's evil ways one day. Giovanni accepts his son's decision and tells him to grow stronger under Lance and Pryce's teaching in the hopes that they will battle someday.

'''Wings 'N' Things''' (Japanese: '''はばたけヤンヤンマ！あしたのそらへ！！''' ''Flap, {{tt|Yanyanma|Yanma}}! Fly to Tomorrow's Sky!!'') is the 177th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 14, 2000 and in USA on November 17, 2001.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
It’s a sunny day on the road in [[Johto]] when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encounter a {{p|Yanma}}. Ash analyzes it with his [[Pokédex]]. Soon the Yanma flies over and steals [[Ash's hat]]! As Ash chases it, a boy comes up and commands Yanma to stop, but it doesn't. He grabs it and doesn't let go. The boy introduces himself as [[Zachary Evans]]. But then Yanma flies off! Soon Yanma reaches a town. Everybody there seems afraid of the Yanma. Soon Ash and his friends catch up.

When Yanma suddenly beats its wings, all the glass in a nearby store shatters! Zachary returns Yanma. The storekeeper comes out and yells at Zachary. It seems this has happened before. The storekeeper carries Zachary off to see his dad. Ash and the gang follow. Later, [[Mr. Evans]], Zach's dad and glassmaker, makes Zach apologize to the store keeper, Mr. Strussel. Mr. Strussel says Zach should release Yanma, and Mr. Evans sadly agrees. Later, at a playground, Zach tells Ash and the gang why he picked Yanma. Accordng to him, there was a severe rainstorm a few months ago. Zach was helping his dad on the way back from delivering glass to another town when they spotted a Yanma lying on the ground. The two of them took it home and took care of it. However, as soon as it got better, Yanma broke all the glass in Mr. Evens' workshop. Zach decided to train Yanma, but to no avail.

After telling the story, Zach decides to let Yanma go. Ash and the gang are surprised, but Zach says that a window maker's son wasn't meant to be a Yanma Trainer. Soon, out in the forest, Zach says goodbye and runs away sadly, but trips while Ash and the gang catch up. Zach realizes he was wrong about releasing Yanma and returns to the location he released it in. When they head back though, however, Yanma is gone. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are out looking for the "[[twerps]]" when they see Yanma. Yanma lands by a river to get a drink, and Team Rocket catches it in a net. Yanma tries to fly away, but is caught by a rope Team Rocket attaches to it. Frustrated, Yanma produces a {{m|SonicBoom|wave of air}} that breaks the windows in a nearby empty cabin.

Soon, Team Rocket uses Yanma to break glass in the town it came from. Right after, Team Rocket, disguised as glass makers, starts selling glass to the town. Soon, Team Rocket rejoices with food but doesn't give Yanma any. Meanwhile, Ash and the gang are looking for Yanma without Zachary, and see a Pokémon Center. They hurry over and see Zach's dad inside. Meanwhile, Zach is searching for Yanma in town and asks Mr. Strussel and two other people if they've seen Yanma. Mr. Strussel tells Zach that he's onto him. Then he tells Zach about Team Rocket's scam and how he thinks Zach is involved with it all. Mr. Strussel picks up Zach and carries him off to Mr. Evans.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends look at the stained glass windows Mr. Evans made, and he explains that he was afraid of Yanma breaking the stained glass too. Soon, Mr. Strussel appears with Zach and tells Mr. Evans the story from his point of view. Then Meowth and Yanma run past the Pokémon Center, while [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and recite their {{motto}}. Ash sends out {{AP|Chikorita}}, and Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}. Team Rocket then tries to use Yanma but Mr. Evans stops them because Yanma would destroy the stained glass. Upon hearing this, Team Rocket says that Yanma will destroy the stained glass if Ash and the gang try to attack. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and it uses bind on Chikorita and Poliwhirl. Chikorita and Poliwhirl try to attack but don't want the windows to be destroyed, so they hold back.

Then, Misty tells Zach to try and return Yanma to its Poké Ball; Zach is successful. Chikorita uses {{m|Vine Whip}} and Poliwhirl uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Arbok, but {{TP|James|Victreebel}} uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to hurt Chikorita and Poliwhirl. Then Zach has the idea to use Yanma in battle. Ash uses his Pokédex to check Yanma's attacks. Next, Yanma uses SonicBoom, knocking out Arbok. Victreebel uses Razor Leaf, but Yanma uses {{m|Double Team}} to dodge. Then Chikorita, Poliwhirl, and Yanma use {{m|Tackle}}, blasting off Team Rocket. Mr. Strussel apologizes to Zach and Yanma. Later, the stained glass is finished, Zach and Yanma are a team, and the journey continues!

'''Challenge! The Fortress Of Steel!!''' (Japanese: '''挑戦!　ハガネの城!!''' ''Challenge! The Steel Castle!!'') is the ninth chapter of the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
The chapter begins as Mitsumi and Jupiter seem to be evenly matched. Just when things are about to end for Mitsumi, Jun comes in to help (it also seems that his Staravia evolved). However, he is not alone, as Prof. Rowan steps in. Seeing the potential danger, the Team Galactic Commanders flee on their Golbat. Prof. Rowan realizes that in order to obtain Dialga, they must catch the lake trio. Prof. Rowan decides to send them to the Sinnoh lakes. Meanwhile, Hareta and Piplup are resting peacefully in Byron's house when they suddenly get an army-style wake-up call from the Gym Leader himself. They are skeptical on whose side the tough iron miner is on, but their minds are changed when they receive a fit-for-a-king breakfast. After discussing the accident, Byron introduces himself as Byron, the "man of steel". Walking through the City of Ports, the group arrives at the Gym. Once inside, Hareta is put through challenges such as dodging steel beams, confronting a speedy moving walkway going in the opposite direction, and battling a one-on-three battle during an Earthquake. He reaches Byron only to find out that he has already lost due to his recklessness. He is sent to Iron Island for further training and the chapter ends with Fantina screaming at the reader, shouting "How dare you call me Grandma?!"

==Major events==
* Mitsumi continues her battle with Jupiter. Jun and Professor Rowan show up to help, however Saturn and Jupiter retreat soon after.
* Having been rescued by Byron, Hareta awakens and learns of him being [[Canalave City]]'s Gym Leader and Roark's father.
* Hareta takes Canalave Gym's challenge, but is defeated by Byron who then suggests for Hareta to train on Iron Island.

==Synopsis==
After re-gaining her confidence in a battle with {{an|Dawn}}, Maylene accepts Ash's Gym battle challenge. Ash and Maylene participate in a fierce 3 on 3 fight, while Dawn cheers for them along with her Pokémon. Ash sends out his {{AP|Staravia}} to battle against Maylene's {{p|Machoke}}, then the match begins. Ash commands his Staravia to use {{m|Quick Attack}} but Machoke counters it with {{m|Brick Break}}. Dawn then realizes that Machoke uses Brick Break to defend itself from the Quick Attack. Ash commands his Staravia to push back, using {{m|Whirlwind}} then following up with an {{m|Aerial Ace}} attack. Machoke easily dodges it, then Maylene commands her Machoke to use {{m|Cross Chop}}, leading Staravia to take a critical hit. Brock points out that Ash wants Staravia to get closer with Aerial Ace. Maylene commands her Machoke to keep using {{m|Brick Break}} which hits Staravia multiple times. Brock hints that Staravia can't afford to take many more hits. Maylene then commands her Machoke to use {{m|Seismic Toss}} as a finishing attack. Ash tells his Staravia to use Quick Attack with intense speed which hits Maylene's Machoke; Staravia then repeats its strategy by using Aerial Ace which leads Machoke to be knocked out.

The scene changes to {{TRT}} planning to poach the Gym's Pokémon by looking at the doors. They find themselves in a relaxation room in which Team Rocket plan to have a massage first before poaching the Gym's Pokémon. Maylene sends out Meditite, a Psychic-type Pokémon, while Ash keeps his Staravia in. Ash commands Staravia to use Quick Attack, but Meditite easily dodges it with {{m|Detect}} then uses {{m|Meditate}} to raise its Attack. Staravia uses Aerial Ace again, but Maylene commands her Meditite to use Detect to detect Staravia's moves, and then Meditate to raise its Attack power so she can finish it all in one hit. Ash commands Staravia to ruin their concentration. Maylene commands her Meditite to bounce off the wall and use {{m|Drain Punch}}, which hits Staravia. Ash commands his Staravia to keep going by using Aerial Ace, Meditite but Meditite uses {{m|Confusion}}, which confuses Staravia. Ash calls Staravia back into its Poké Ball. Then Ash calls out {{AP|Chimchar}} and commands it to use {{m|Scratch}}, hitting Meditite. Maylene commands Meditite to keep using Drain Punch so it can absorb Chimchar's energy and heal itself. Ash tells Chimchar to dodge and to keep using Scratch. Maylene commands Meditite to keep using Detect, preventing Chimchar's Scratch from connecting. It works for a bit, but then Meditite's Detect fails and is hit with Scratch several times. Maylene is impressed by Chimchar's skill. Ash tells Chimchar to use {{m|Flamethrower}} (which hits Meditite) and then to follow up with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. Before the Flame Wheel can hit, Maylene orders Meditite to use Confusion, which leaves Chimchar rolling off in the wrong direction and attacking the nearest wall with Scratch. Ash returns Chimchar into its Poké Ball and sends Staravia back out, its Confusion healed. Meditite uses Drain Punch but Staravia pushes it back, then attacks with {{m|Brave Bird}}. Maylene orders Meditite to use Confusion, but with no more energy left, the move fails and Staravia knocks out Meditite. Brock says that Brave Bird can be dangerous and the user can take some damage when using it. Maylene only has one Pokémon left, while Ash stays with Staravia. Maylene sends out {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}. Ash commands Staravia to use Brave Bird, but as it closes in Lucario counters it with {{m|Metal Claw}} which knocks Staravia out of the battle.

Ash sends out Chimchar again, commanding it to use Flamethrower, but it is easily dodged by Lucario. Ash orders Chimchar to keep using Flamethrower and Maylene commands Lucario to keep dodging, easily done with its excellent speed. Ash, wanting to get closer, commands Chimchar to use Scratch which is dodged by Lucario. Maylene commands her Lucario to use {{m|Force Palm}}, hitting Chimchar. Ash commands Chimchar to use Flame Wheel, a perfect hit with its maximum power. Ash commands Chimchar to use its Flame Wheel again but it misses, paralyzed by Lucario's Force Palm. Lucario attacks Chimchar with {{m|Bone Rush}} which hits Chimchar multiple times. Ash orders Chimchar to use {{m|Dig}} so it can get away. Maylene tells her Lucario to sense Chimchar's [[Aura]] so it can detect Chimchar underground, then attack the ground where Chimchar was hiding with {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Chimchar is thrown out of the ground, so Maylene commands Lucario to use Metal Claw which knocks out Chimchar. Ash then chooses his {{AP|Buizel}} to battle against Maylene's Lucario. Brock then notices that {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is missing.

Team Rocket finds the Training room and checks it out, hoping they can find Pokémon inside. Instead, they find Croagunk practicing {{m|Poison Jab}} in a pot full of sand. Team Rocket quietly closes the door and leaves to check out more rooms. They're surprised to find Croagunk in front of them, looking eye to eye for a while. Croagunk finishes Team Rocket up with Poison Jab, sending Team Rocket flying off again.

Meanwhile, Buizel uses {{m|Water Gun}} while Lucario counters with {{m|Aura Sphere}}, resulting in an explosion, but Aura Sphere still connects with Buizel. Maylene orders Lucario to use {{m|Bone Rush}} which Buizel dodges. Ash commands Buizel to spin and use {{m|Aqua Jet}}. When Maylene orders Lucario to use Metal Claw, the Aqua Jet surpasses the Metal Claw attack and hits Lucario. Buizel uses {{m|SonicBoom}} and Lucario uses Bone Rush to defend, spinning it, Lucario then releases several Aura Spheres at Buizel. Buizel defends by using SonicBoom. Lucario gets in close, and then use Force Palm which hits Buizel. Maylene orders Lucario to finish up with Aura Sphere, maximum power. Buizel, still feeling the effect of Force Palm, manages to learn {{m|Water Pulse}} which surprised Ash and the others. Maylene orders Lucario to use Aura Sphere while Ash commands Buizel to use Water Pulse. The two raging energy balls result in an explosion, Ash commands Buizel to spin and use Aqua Jet one more time while Maylene orders Lucario to use Force Palm, result in an explosion again, and hurt both Pokémon but both recover and the two Pokémon battle in the air, Lucario using Aura Sphere and Buizel using Water Pulse. The resulting explosion in the air destroys the battle field's roof, exposing the field to the open sky. Both Pokémon was hurt until Maylene's Lucario manage to recover and attack Buizel with Metal Claw, which hit Buizel. The referee thinks that Buizel was unable to battle but before he finishes his sentence, Buizel gets up. Maylene then commands Lucario to use Bone Rush, Ash orders Buizel to dodge but it can't move. When Dawn tells Buizel to dodge, she notices that it has started to rain. Buizel dodges the Bone Rush at the last second, its speed dramatically increased. Brock recognizes the Ability as {{a|Swift Swim}}, as Buizel manages to dodge all the Bone Rush strikes of Lucario. Ash commands Buizel to spin and use Aqua Jet while Maylene order Lucario to use Force Palm, which Buizel takes some damage from. While Dawn cheers for Buizel, Ash commands Buizel to use Water Pulse, then to spin and use Aqua Jet against Lucario's Force Palm, a combination of Water Pulse and Aqua Jet. The resulting collision leaves both Pokémon unable to battle, and therefore the battle between Maylene and Ash ends in a draw.

After the fierce battle, the [[Connally|referee]] states that awarding a Gym Badge for a tie depends on the judgment of the Gym Leader. Maylene says that Ash gave her the greatest Gym battle of her life and Maylene's Pokémon agree that it is a good enough reason to award Ash the {{Badge|Cobble}}. "A draw between Maylene and Ash has ended up a rousing win for both. Maylene's spirit burns brighter than ever while Ash has earned the Cobble Badge. And in the wake of our [[Ash Ketchum|hero]]'s third [[Sinnoh League]] victory, Ash's spirit burns equally as bright."

* Team Rocket doesn't recite the {{motto}} in this episode.

'''Oshawott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミジュマル''' ''Mijumaru'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dewott}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Samurott}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Unova]] available at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon and is primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a spherical white head with small, triangular dark-blue ears on the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like a horizontal oval. Oshawott also has freckles on the sides of its face, most likely intended to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers. Its body forms light blue bubble shapes around the neck area, composing a sort of "collar". Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell in the center. Made out of {{wp|keratin}}, this appendage, called a "[[scalchop]]", can be removed and used in various ways, but mainly as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, while its feet, unlike its forearms, have discernible digits; they are colored dark blue. Oshawott also has a rudder-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs that are unseen until it opens its mouth.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
It can fight skillfully by detaching the [[scalchop]] on its belly. The scalchop can be used for a variety of different purposes, such as a sword, shield, and boomerang. It also uses it to break open hard berries. The scalchop grows from its bellybutton.

===Behavior===
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its scalchop without any hesitation. When eating, Oshawott uses its forepaws to move food to its mouth, rather than going down on all fours to eat it.

===Habitat===
Oshawott mainly live in water but may come to land.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Oshawott uses its scalchop to open hard berries.

Later, a flashback of [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Dewott}} as an Oshawott was shown after it had been beaten by [[Cilan's Pansage]].

Another Oshawott appeared in [[BW109]] as a starter Professor Juniper offered for [[Nonomi]]. However, she chose {{p|Tepig}} instead.

It was later chosen by {{adv|Bianca}} because she thought it was cute.

===As the player===
Oshawott appears as one of the [[player character]] in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He's a self-proclaimed investigator for the [[Cove Area]]. At first he is suspicious of {{OBP|Pikachu|PokéPark}} and attempts to interrogate him, until {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} tells Oshawott that Pikachu is a friend. Oshawott later chases after Pikachu and Piplup after they enter the [[Wish Park]], and narrowly escapes from {{p|Cofagrigus}} with Pikachu.

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Oshawott and its fellow [[Unova]] starter Pokémon were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Oshawott is the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon to be based on a mammal.
* Oshawott is the only starter Pokémon whose name begins with a vowel, discounting {{p|Eevee}}.
* Oshawott and its evolutions are the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon that are not in [[Water 1 (egg group)|any of]] [[Water 2 (egg group)|the]] [[Water 3 (egg group)|Water]] [[Egg Group]]s, being exclusive to the {{egg3|Field}}.
* Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon.
* Oshawott, along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, has the lowest [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|base experience yield]], with a base of 28.
* Oshawott, along with the other two Unova starter Pokémon, are the only starter Pokémon to evolve at an odd number: 17.
* Oshawott's evolutionary line and {{p|Turtwig}}'s evolutionary line are the only starter Pokémon evolutionary lines that share Hidden Abilities.
* Oshawott is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation V whose name starts with O.

===Origin===
Oshawott is based on a {{wp|sea otter}} pup and {{wp|samurai}}<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (dead link)</ref>. The way that Oshawott's [[scalchop]] rests on its belly resembles the way otters look when cracking open shells to eat. This scalchop also holds similarities with {{wp|Japanese war fan}}s, which were often used by samurai for defensive purposes. [[Ken Sugimori]] said that Oshawott and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.<ref>http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Pia_information_begins_to_surface</ref>

====Name origin====
Oshawott may be a combination of ''ocean'', ''shell'', ''water'', and ''{{wp|otter}}''. It may be a reference to {{wp|Oshawa}}, {{wp|Canada}}, as Canada contains many protected areas in which sea otters reside, the name of which comes from the Ojibwa word ''aazhaway'' ("crossing the river" or "to leave one's canoe behind"). It may also derive from {{wp|George Ohsawa}}, a famed dietitian born into a poor samurai family during the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}} of Japan.

Mijumaru may be a combination of 水 ''mizu'' (water) or 未熟 ''mijuku'' (naive or immature) and 丸 ''maru'' (round). ''Maru'' is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. ''Miju'' may also refer to an otter named ''Mijbil'', the subject of an autoboigraphical novel and movie called ''{{wp|Ring of Bright Water}}''.

'''Misty's Gyarados''' (Japanese: '''カスミのギャラドス''' ''Kasumi's Gyarados'') was the tenth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{an|Misty}} owned; she adopted it in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] after she returned home in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:SS002.png|left|thumb|200px|Misty and Gyarados]]
When Misty returned to Cerulean City to fill in for her sisters as the [[Gym Leader]], she found out that a newly-evolved {{p|Gyarados}} was on a rampage at the [[Cerulean Gym]]. Even worse, [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] inspectors were ready to condemn the Gym if there was no leader to keep Gyarados under control. Panicking, Misty tried many attempts to stop it, including a reenactment of the water ballet show Gyarados participated in as a {{p|Magikarp}}. When none of these calming methods worked, Misty resorted to locking it in a cage. However, after the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] had an unfair battle with Misty, they got their {{p|Tentacruel}} to attack it with {{m|Poison Sting}}. Misty then took the attack for Gyarados, causing Gyarados to earn her trust. Calmed, it finally allowed her to return it to its [[Poké Ball]].

The use of Gyarados is significant as Misty had been afraid of the species up until this point. This came from a traumatic event in her childhood when she had crawled into the mouth of a sleeping Gyarados and was almost swallowed by it.

Gyarados is officially a Gym Pokémon, and is thus not solely in Misty's custody. However, she has been seen using it the most. In ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', when Misty visited Ash in [[Hoenn]], she used Gyarados to defeat [[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} with Flamethrower. It also appeared briefly in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', where Misty used it to battle against [[Dr. Yung]]'s {{pkmn2|Mirage}} {{p|Mewtwo}}, which, however, was way too strong for the Atrocious Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
At first, Gyarados was very angry and enraged, attacking every nearby [[human|person]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and not calming down for a second. This contrasts with its personality as a Magikarp, when it was much more relaxed and had once even participated in a water ballet with Misty. Its rage as a Gyarados even made it unwilling to go back into its Poké Ball, forcing Misty to confine it in a cage to avoid any further damage to the Gym.

However, when Gyarados saw how much Misty cared about her hurt {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, its personality started to become calmer. When Misty took the Tentacruel's Poison Sting in order to protect Gyarados, and was on the brink of drowning, Gyarados broke out of its cage and brought Misty to the surface, showing that it now had full confidence in her. By this point, Gyarados even listened to her commands and was willing to go back into its Poké Ball. This bond has remained between Misty and Gyarados ever since, making Gyarados one of Misty's primary battlers.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Misty Gyarados EToP.png|thumb|Misty's Gyarados scaring Ash]]
Misty also has a Gyarados in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu|the manga counterpart to the anime]], but, unlike in the anime, it was the first Pokémon she ever caught. She trained it carefully until it evolved and, due to this, it's extremely loyal to its Trainer.

Gyarados appeared in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'' when [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] challenged the Cerulean Gym. At first Ash tried to send {{AP|Pikachu}} into battle but the Electric Mouse was too scared of the scary Atrocious Pokémon. When Ash tried to use his {{AP|Fearow}} it turned out to be sleeping. Next Ash tried to use {{AP|Pidgeot}}to, but it wasn't inside of its Poké Ball, having only left behind a note to explain its absense. Ash's only choice left was {{p|Metapod}}, which could do nothing but use {{m|Harden}}. For a moment it looked like Ash had lost but then his Metapod evolved into {{AP|Butterfree}}. Seeing his chance, Ash had Butterfree use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on Gyarados, putting the huge Pokémon into {{status|sleep}}.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
{{main|Gyara}}
[[File:VS Gyarados.png|thumb|left|Gyara attacking Misty]]
Misty's Gyarados, who was nicknamed '''[[Gyara]]''', first appeared in [[PS006|''Gyarados Splashes In!'']]. It was stolen and used for experiments by [[Team Rocket]], causing it to go berserk and attack Misty. Then {{adv|Red}} appeared, recaptured Gyarados and returned it to her. After that, in [[PS025|''You know... Articuno!'']], Red tried to get the [[HM]] {{m|Surf}} but he couldn't, so, Misty offered to trade Gyara with Red's {{p|Krabby}}, because Gyrara already knew that move. With Gyara he could reach [[Cinnabar Island]].

Gyara seems to have a cheerful personality, as after it was caught by Red, it was constantly singing and moving. The other Pokémon seem to be afraid of it after it does this.

== Typebattle template title "Resist" is mathematically inaccurate with current values. ==

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Typebattle

Saying resist is mathematically incorrect if you keep the numbers as multiplication values.

Its valid for the 1/2x part since when you resist half the damage you take the other half.

However you are not resisting 2x the damage. That would be the same as resisting 200% of the attack. Resisting 100% or more would result in taking no damage at all. Resisting 0% would mean that you are resisting no damage and therefore taking 100% of the initial amount.

If you want to stick with the values being multipliers to the original attack i would recommend you to use another word like multiplyer, power or effectiveness.

== Dispute ==

Jo The Marten And I Are Having An Argument. Are People Allowed To Put Pokemon Templates On Mystery Dungeon Pages? [[User:Badjb10|Badjb10]] ([[User talk:Badjb10|talk]]) 02:00, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
:Pokemon templates should only be used like that where there is something special about the Pokemon (Abnormal ability, abnormal moveset, etc.). There is absolutely nothing different between that Drowzee and any other wild level 12 Drowzee. It is therefore unnecessary to provide that extra information. The entry in the list is enough.

:Because that's not a location article. It doesn't have a list. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:00, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

It Shouldn't Matter That It's A Location Page. The Point Of Pages Like That Are To Make It Easy For Players To Gather Information From. [[User:Badjb10|Badjb10]] ([[User talk:Badjb10|talk]]) 05:21, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
:.[[Drowzee (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)]] That page is about Drowzee. As such, it has the full description, including the template. [[Mt. Bristle]] is about the location, and as such has to provide information on many Pokemon. Thus the information given on each is less so that the page is not bogged down with information which is, quite frankly, unnecessary. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:29, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

==AG132 Trainer's Choice Error==
1. It is ''not'' an assumption. I have seen every single episode with a Trainer's Choice, and every single one that asked "Which would be most effective against..?" or "Which Pokémon has the advantage?", it ''always'' meant types. '''Always.'''
2. If it's "still an error," why, pray tell, did you delete it?
3. You should tell that to Dennou Zenshi. "Didn't I just remove it?" he/she says, as if he/she is infallible.
4. I go to Talk pages to discuss something questionable. This is not questionable. It's quite obvious that Kirlia is being mistaken for a Grass-type. You wanna talk about assumption? Ask Dennou why he/she thinks that this TC could ''possibly'' be about Arcanine's ''stats'' and ''learnset''. Really?! That is laughably baseless. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 11:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
:It's not obvious at all that they mistook Kirlia for a Grass-type, since [[M06]] and [[AG109]] made it clear that Kirlia is a Psychic-type. On the other hand, it ''is'' obvious that the "legendary" Arcanine is better than Kirlia, who is weaker than many unevolved Pokémon.

Electric affects Ground, then it doesn't, then it does on Rhydon's horn, then it doesn't, then it does in Rhydon's mouth, then it doesn't, etc. If you still honestly believe that this TC subtly refers to stats, unlike every other TC of its kind, then go ahead and edit [[Trainer's Choice]]'s sections to pick ''your'' correct choice. There are many errors that end up being ties, with no Pokémon having an advantage over the stated one. Go ahead and compare every Pokémon's stats to every stated Pokémon's stats and see which is the "correct" one in every single erroneous TC. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 15:30, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

:::My apologies, I should have only removed half of the point.

== A question about my edit to Template:16TeamBracket ==

Hello, Werdnae. I made an update to the 16 Team Bracket template a bit ago for a few things. Mainly it was to make the tables be rounded per Bulbapedia style. While it looks good in concept and on most articles; I have seen a few pages where the template gets a bit streched out. Most of the stretching is limited to the [[2009 World Championships]] and the [[2010 World Championships]].

:# Yes, provided that's all you do.
:#I don't think that's a good idea. Firstly because the template is extremely high use and any edit is likely to crash the wiki. Second, because it's okay for pages we actually want to be on the wanted pages list, so anything that's definitely going to get a page shouldn't use the template.

How does [[User:Abcboy/sandbox/TournamentInfobox|this]] look? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
:Firsly, it needs to be roundy to match our style. I know you've based it on the game screen, but it still should be roundy because otherwise it looks out of place. Also because following the game design that strictly means that if it gets redesigned in future games, the template looks bad. They're 'inspired' by the game design, rather than emulating it.

:Secondly, the align tags need to be replaced. Content alignment (i.e. text and images) can be done with the "text-align" style (i.e. <code>style="text-align:left/right/center;"</code>), while table alignment can be done with the float style for left or right (i.e. <code>style="float:left/right;"</code>) or the margin style for centering (i.e. <code>style="margin:auto;"</code>). This is important because the align tags are deprecated and only currently working on a backwards-compatability setup which could stop working at any time.

:Other than those two minor things, nice work on the template. It's a nice code setup. Just don't be afraid to mess around with the styles from the game. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:00, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

== Language support templates ==

I was looking at Wikipedia and they have some nice language support templates such as {{wp|Template:Nihongo}}, {{wp|Template:Korean}} and {{wp|Template:Zh}}. The Japanese one is particularly useful as it renders kanji properly. I was thinking on adding them to Bulbapedia but would like to know the staff's opinion on them. If they are accepted, I would ask Wikipedia for permission of usage of the templates here (please note that I do not have an account there) and try them out in my sandbox here first. What do you think? [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 13:17, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:If I'm not mistaken, we already use the same code that those templates use to display the characters. It's an html attribute, <code>lang="ja"</code> ("ja" is replaced with "ko" or "zh" for the latter two templates). The reason that ours may appear distorted is that, depending on where they are used, the characters are subsequently bolded and/or reduced in size. I have noticed that it becomes very difficult to read in templates where both are done. In short, I don't think we need the template as we (should) already use the relevant code that it contains. If there's somewhere the language code isn't used, it most certainly should be, and you're welcome to add it: <code><nowiki>Kanji goes here</nowiki></code> [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::Okay, correction, it appears that we're certainly not using that code everywhere. I know for certain that some templates do. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:36, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:::Well, I don't like them solely for the proper rendering of kanji. It's also because the templates help to standardize the way the Japanese/Korean/Chinese names should appear on articles. They also have the parameters <code>lead=yes</code> and <code>lead=no</code>, which allows the reader to know which written non-English language is he/she reading, with that element being present in the first instance of the language ''only''. It also helps in situations when there's no English equivalent to the Japanese/Korean/Chinese name, allowing the text to appear differently ordered to accomodate the situation. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 19:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::::I'm still not sure it's necessary. The usage of Japanese text is pretty much standardised already, with an identification. (i.e. the opening lines of the articles.) I can see where you're coming from, I just don't know if we need it, when things are hardcoded in a relatively (I would hope) similar manner. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:00, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::Well, I understand your point of view but please reconsider. It may be awkward at first but these specific templates help once we get used to them. At least, that's how I feel about them. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 14:27, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

== Infobox game update ==

I've tweaked and added some parameters to it as per feedback on the template's talk page as well as from my own ideas. Check the modified template [[User:SatoMew2/GameInfoboxTweaks|here]] and some tests with it [[User talk:SatoMew2/GameInfoboxTweaks|here]]. Basically, I did the following:
* Changed ''info'' in '''Basic info''' to ''information'' to be more professional and encyclopedic;
* Changed OFLC to ACB in the '''Ratings''' since the ratings were of the ACB, which was previously called OFLC, and also due to there being confusion over the independent OFLC from New Zealand. Furthermore, the OFLC from New Zealand is irrelevant as the Pokémon games released there are under control of Nintendo of Australia, the subsidiary of Nintendo for both Australia and New Zealand. Thus, the ratings for the games in these two countries are as per the ACB;
* Added the parameter for the OSK rating, which is the German rating system and is applicable to the Pokémon games;
* Added parameters to include the translations of Japanese names under the Japanese name, in smaller text (same size as Japanese text);
* Added other essential parameters about the games;
* Renamed various parameters, rendering the previous names obsolete and current usage of the template broken;
* Added "N/A" as fallback text for everything, for the sake of simplicity, consistency and to avoid showing the parameters themselves if there is a need to fallback to them.
Either way, wherever the template is used, those applications of it have to be updated. Still, what do you think? I believe it makes the template more accurate and complete now. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 20:52, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

::I've replaced the <code>align</code> tags as you suggested, since they are deprecated.

::Hmm. Okay. I noticed a pattern in a lot of new usernames from the past few days, and as I'm going down the list, I've found about 70 from the past 8 days... didn't realize it went on this far.

Could you do that for other generations? Because movesets liked to change also in other generations. Some, like {{p|Mewtwo}}'s or {{p|Medicham}}'s could use that for Generation III. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 10:31, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

== Wiki code ==

You seem to be the correct person to ask...

On anime pokemon move templates such as this:


* Poison Gas was used in the [[dub]] only. In the original Japanese version, Ash just said Muk's name, ''Betbeton''.

I tried to to take the note at the bottom and put it into the actual template, using tt|*| next to Poison Gas, in order to make it look neater howevr it comes out like this



is their anyway the template can be changed so that we can put the tt|*| inside it? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 16:26, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
:Adding a tooltip onto a parameter which autolinks will ''never'' work like that, because it's inside the link. The template needs the notes to be in parameter 4, which is alternate text and so can handle the tooltip template.

:Also, if a proposed usage of a template is broken, please don't save it as-is. Saving a broken template usage is likely to create other problems. Instead, put it inside comment tags, and people that want to see the problem can remove them and preview. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 09:14, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

:::I'd prefer the floor parameter to display all the time. Otherwise it's unclear whether it is on all the floors or we just don't know the floors. The second line of the footer is a bit of a cop-out in that regard - either we know, or we don't. "seems" doesn't fit. Agreed that it would be on all the dungeons. I also think that we'd be better off including Poke in a row of the table, rather than a footnote. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

As one of the people on here who knew you way back when you were a Jr. Admin., I can say that I can't think of anyone else who has put as much hard work into the 'pedia, or who I would rather have in the job. You have been a kind and helpful mentor to many people on here (including me), so I just wanted to say thank you for that. Your leadership skills and dedication are what have brought you thus far, and I look forward to seeing how the 'pedia prospers under your guidance.

Hey, I was wondering if I could talk to you about adding a relationship section to the prominent characters of the series. --[[User:Firered16|Firered16]] ([[User talk:Firered16|talk]]) 04:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
:Werdnae's away at the moment, but he gave me permission to respond to you in his stead. We feel relationship sections are not needed on character articles, as more than likely it will only lead to problems because of [[Shipping]]. Also, relatives are already mentioned in the infobox on articles. If you'd like to go in-depth about interactions between characters, then your attention is better suited for the shipping articles.

That wasn't what I meant. What I'm trying to suggest is adding short summaries of some of the characters interactions, and for the shippings we'd just leave a link. It'd probably be easier if I showed you an example, so with your permission can I do it on Iris or Trip? --[[User:Firered16|Firered16]] ([[User talk:Firered16|talk]]) 15:30, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
:That kind of information should be worked into the "Character" section, as their interactions with other people are a significant part of their character. It shouldn't need to go overly specific, just their general behaviour towards other people and anything markedly different. Looking at Trip's page, it appears this is already the case: specifically the second and fourth paragraphs of the Character section. Shippings should not be included there unless they are specifically stated in canon. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:04, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Your kinda misinterpreting what I'm trying to say. I'm referring to interactions that don't have any shippings, like with Iris and Cynthia or Georgia and Burgundy. I'll show you what I mean if you let me try it for Iris. --[[User:Firered16|Firered16]] ([[User talk:Firered16|talk]]) 19:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
:I know what you're meaning. What I'm saying is I don't want a list. The behaviour that is underlying the interactions should be included in the character section without the need to list. Important events should be included in the history section. We have existing places to put that information. We don't need to duplicate it. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 17:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

== Random question ==

Hi Werdnae :) sorry to bother you with this, but {{u|Umeko}} never writes me back so I thought it was best to come to you. I was wondering if you think [[User:Zesty Cactus/Misty's Song (single)|this article]], which I've worked on in my user space, was worth it for a mainspace article. My explanation is in the user message on the article. I'd appreciate your feedback. (I'm scared to just make the decision myself since I feel I don't have that much authority over Music, since while I do contribute to the project, idk, I feel like it's not my place XD) thanks again :) [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 17:38, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
:Music articles aren't my expertise, but would it be plausible to make it a proper section on the existing page? Neither of them really have that much info, so they might be better together? You've got more experience with those articles, so I'll trust your judgement on it, whatever you decide is better. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

== Disambig pages ==

What is the rule for disambiguation pages? I know that Pokémon receive them. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 05:59, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
:Pokémon get disabmigs at X (Disambiguation) because there's already a lot of stuff to fit at the top of their page and the species names redirect there. Otherwise, it's just whether one is significantly more important than the other (Also, English names always trump Japanese names) or they're equal importance. If there's numerous things, then it might get a disambig, if there's just a few and the 'main' article is small then a note at the top is easier. There's no real hard and fast rule, it's more of a 'is this working?' and 'what are people more likely to be looking for?'.

First of all, sorry if I'm talking to the wrong person, as far as the Bulbapedia hierarchy goes you seem pretty high so I thought I'd start here...

'''Route 211''' is a short route in [[Sinnoh]] that connects [[Eterna City]] and [[Celestic Town]]. It is a mountain path that tunnels through [[Mt. Coronet]], the tallest mountain in Sinnoh.

==Route description==
===Western Segment===
The route starts out on the west, from [[Eterna City]] and makes its way east. There is a large section of [[tall grass]] on this route, where the player can battle [[wild Pokémon]]. Going further east, the route travels across a long bridge, above a narrow river, where it will then reach another ledge where the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]] can be found, along with an unusually tiny patch of grass. If the player goes north, they can use {{m|Rock Smash}} and get down the cliff face, where they can face another Trainer, and collect an item, {{TM|12|Taunt}}.

===Eastern Segment===
The route continues after the player exits [[Mt. Coronet]] from the north-west side. The player has a choice of two options, to go directly east along the grassy ground, or go north, up to the rocky mountainside. By going though the grassy ground, the player will encounter a large patch of [[tall grass]], and a [[Honey|honey tree]] just north of there, along with some loamy soft soil to plant four [[Berry|berries]]. By going east from there, the path connects back up from the second path, on the mountainside and will make its way east to [[Celestic Town]].

If the player chose the second path, the route makes its way north up a flight of stairs, to a rocky mountainside. The route, then makes its way east after that, passing many Trainers as it goes by. There are also a lot of {{m|Rock Smash|breakable rocks}}. If the player uses {{m|Rock Smash}} on a couple of rocks, north of the area, they will be able to {{m|Rock Climb|scale}} up a cliff face, and obtain an item, {{TM|29|Psychic}}. If the player makes their way east, they will reach the stairs to travel down the hill and get to [[Celestic Town]].

FYI, the reason your sig isn't working as expected (assuming you're expecting it to actually use that template) is that templates are disabled in signatures.

Talk:Masuda method

2011-05-23T04:15:38Z

Ratikate: /* Quick question */

I'm a tad comfused on how this works, can this be explained more clearly? Does it mean like i could get a japanese pokemon from the GTS and breed it with one of my pokemon?
-- [[User:GoldHuksy|GoldHusky]] ''([[User talk:GoldHuksy|talk]])'' 14:11, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
:Exactly. And the offspring has a higher chance of being shiny. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 19:36, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone know if this works for ALL languages, or just Japanese? Say I get my hands on a British/English Pokemon and put it on my American card, does it work the same?

== May I? ==

The information in the article is a little confusing to read unless you read it through four times straight. May I make a section on the article listing everything that counts and doesn't? For example saying "''Players can use one Pokémon from their own game (male or female) and one Pokémon from a foreign game (male or female), this will increase the chances of the egg hatching a shiny. Using two Pokémon from a foreign game will have the same odds, and Pokémon from Meister do not count as they are not from a foreign cartridge of the game''" ect, ect. So yeah, can I? [[User:Takoto| - Takoto]] 20:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

== Ditto? ==

I realize this works with a foreign, say, Marill and your own Ditto, but would it work with a foreign ''Ditto'' and your own Marill? Basically, I'm asking if Ditto is an exception at all. [[User:Sadistic Blaziken|Sadistic Blaziken]] 04:57, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
:There are no exceptions to this rule. Just as long as the Pokemon was generated on a foreign game (so basically, no Lt Surge's Pikachu, or Meister's Magikarp), it'll work. So yeah, foreign Ditto/your Marill would work. ▫▫'''[[User:Tina|ティナ]]'''[[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|★]] 05:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== In Game Trades? ==

If I use the foreign Pikachu in HG/SS or the foreign Magikarp in D/P/P as a parent, will the Masuda method work on their offspring? [[User:CubeShapedWatermelon|CubeShapedWatermelon]] 04:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
:Nope. It's generated by your own game, so it won't work. See the section above. ▫▫'''[[User:Tina|ティナ]]'''[[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|★]] 04:38, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

== Evolve foreign in you own game ==

What happens if you evolve a foreign Pokémon in your own game? Does it still count as foreign or not? {{unsigned|Mr.Char}}
:Yes, it still counts as foreign. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 22:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== OK, fairly major discovery here! ==

Take a look at [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 this!] Research from Smogon proves that not only does the Masuda method now take the Everstone into consideration, but now the shiny chance is 1 in 1366!

So if you have a forgein Mamoswine and your own ditto the massuda metod would'nt work?
Nintendo100[[User:Nintendo100|Nintendo100]] 20:33, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
:The Masuda method will work. The OTs don't matter; only the native languages do. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 20:45, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

== Quick question ==

If I have a Japanese Vulpix from, say, SoulSilver, and an English Ditto from Black, will the method still work? Or do I need the two Pokemon to both be from the same generation? [[User:Ratikate|Ratikate {{SUBST:ani|282}}]] 04:15, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

'''Roland''' (Japanese: '''ヨーシチ''' ''Yōshichi'') is a [[character of the day]] in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' and a relative of [[Bertha]].

Roland gave his {{p|Magby}} to the disguised [[Team Rocket]] trio for them to raise and [[evolution|evolve]], unaware of their true intentions. Afterwards, he met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} and became attracted to [[Ash's Pikachu]], which he later played with in a park.

Later on, with the help of his new friends, as well as the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Bertha]], he was able to track Team Rocket down and get back his Magby. With Bertha's encouragement, Roland had his Magby deliver the final blow to defeat Team Rocket.

'''Riolu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リオル''' ''Riolu'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} [[baby]] [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Lucario}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|happiness]] during the [[Time|day]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Riolu is a small, blue, dog-like Pokémon. Its legs and torso are colored black. Riolu's tail is blue and it has a yellow collar. There are rounded bumps on the backs of Riolu's forepaws, which could be the beginnings of the spikes on {{p|Lucario}}'s forepaws. Riolu has a black "mask" and red eyes.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Riolu are sensitive to a special type of energy called [[Aura]]. Riolu's evolved form, Lucario, can use these waves to attack, or study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. However, Riolu does not have the ability to fully use these powers, although it can still emanate these waves to communicate and sense them - albeit only in "ripples" as opposed to the "waves" of energy its evolution can sense and guide. Most notably, it cannot learn {{m|Aura Sphere}} or {{m|Detect}} naturally, two moves that Lucario learns that are often attributed to its aura powers. However, it does have a remarkably similar movepool to the [[Hitmons]].

Like almost all Fighting-type Pokémon, Riolu naturally has superhuman strength, stamina, and endurance and is capable of making long journeys on foot in a short amount of time.

===Behavior===
Riolu are playful, energetic, and loyal.

===Habitat===
Riolu is incredibly rare in the wild. It's so rare that the general location of Riolu dwellings are fully unknown.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

[[Image:Riolu.png|thumb|210px|right|Riolu in the anime]]
==In the anime==
Riolu has made an appearance during ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One]] [[DP072|and Two]]'', which aired as a one hour special commemorating the release of [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. This Riolu had been trained to use {{m|Aura Sphere}} and was unnaturally strong. It was taken away from its owner by a group that wanted to exploit it but Ash and co. returned it, with [[Kellyn]]'s help. This Riolu developed a strong bond with Ash.

A Riolu appeared in {{MTR}}'s [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP071|Riolu|Ash's Pokédex|Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. When sad or scared, Riolu's [[aura]] becomes stronger as a way of signaling its allies.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, [[Maylene]] has a Riolu. It is seen using {{m|Drain Punch}} against {{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Monferno}}, who {{adv|Platinum}} borrowed in order to fight her.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] [[Hareta]] gained a Riolu egg in ''[[DPA10|Serious Training on Iron Island!!]]'' which hatched into a Riolu later on in that chapter.

==Trivia==
*Riolu shares a number of traits with {{p|Togepi}}, notably that both are received as {{pkmn|egg}}s from an NPC in the generation of their introduction, and when hatched, cannot breed until they have evolved.
**Additionally, their fully evolved forms ({{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Togekiss}}) are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Aura Sphere}} (although Riolu itself may learn Aura Sphere through [[Ranger Net|special means]]).
**They both gain a secondary type upon evolution.
**They are the only baby Pokémon to come out in the same generation as at least one evolution.
*Riolu is the only pure {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon whose evolution is not, as Lucario is {{2t|Fighting|Steel}}.
*Riolu is the only Pokémon that evolves by [[happiness]] that cannot be captured in a [[Luxury Ball]]. This is because it can only be hatched from an egg, obtained in an event, or captured in the [[Johto Safari Zone]].
* Both of Riolu's [[Ability|abilities]] have something to do with [[flinch]]ing. {{a|Steadfast}} makes Riolu faster when flinching, whilst {{a|Inner Focus}} protects it from it.
**Due to this combination, Steadfast can only activate in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] if Riolu becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}.
*When Riolu became a starter in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} it became the first [[starter Pokémon]] to be unable to be recruited or captured in another game of its trio as it can't be found in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Darkness]] without using [[Wonder Mail]].
===Origin===
Riolu appears to be based on the Egyptian god {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of a jackal.
====Name origin====
Riolu's name is simply Lucario's name with the last two syllables placed in the front and the ''ca'' part taken out altogether.

'''Ampharos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンリュウ''' ''Denryu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ampharos are tall, yellow, bipedal Pokémon with long necks. They have black stripes on their neck, ears and tail, and a white underbelly. They also have two round, red crystal-like structures; one on their heads and one on their tails. These give off huge amounts of light and electricity. Their arms resemble flippers.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ampharos gives off so much light that it can be seen even from space. People once used the light of this Pokémon as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean.

===Behavior===
Ampharos is a gentle Pokémon that spends most of its time grazing in flocks of other Ampharos and its pre-evolutions Mareep and Flaaffy. Because its tail glows brightly, in times of emergency it uses its tail as a beacon in the place of a lighthouse.

===Habitat===
Ampharos live in grasslands.

==Trivia==
*Unlike most Electric-types, Ampharos has Speed as its lowest stat. It shares this trait with {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.
*Ampharos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as Light Pokémon.
*Despite all of its Pokédex entries mentioning that its tail glows as a beacon, it cannot learn the move {{m|Tail Glow}}.
*Along with its evolutionary relatives, Ampharos is the only [[Electric (type)|electric type]] that can learn [[Power Gem (move)|Power Gem]].

===Origin===
It appears to resemble a giraffe. It also shares traits with a lighthouse, such as its height, stripes and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. Its bipedal stance resembles a kangaroo's.
====Name origin====
Its name is a combination of ''ampere'', or ''{{wp|amp}}'', a measure of electrical current, and ''pharos'', the Greek word for "lighthouse". Ampharos's Japanese name can be taken to mean 電流 ''denryū'', electric current, or 電竜 ''denryū'', electric dragon, and may include 電球 ''denkyū'', light bulb in its name, referring to its tail.

==In other languages==

'''Lyra''' (Japanese: '''コトネ''' ''Kotone'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]] who debuted in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} first met Lyra when her {{p|Marill}} wandered off and they found it wedged in a wall. She introduced herself as a Trainer from [[Johto]]. She came to [[Sinnoh]] with her friend, [[Khoury]] and [[Khoury's father|his father]] in order to observe the Pokémon native to the region. Later she asks {{an|Dawn}} to participate in the [[Johto Festival]]. The two girls had a battle but Lyra lost and rewarded Dawn with an {{pkmn|egg}}. At the end of the episode, Lyra and Khoury join Ash's group because the former wanted to watch the upcoming {{to|Lilypad}} [[Pokémon Contest|Contest]] Dawn would be participating in.

It is implied in ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'' that Lyra has an interest in Ash. She admires his bravery and wishes that [[Khoury]] would act more like him. Lyra even asks Dawn if she and Ash are [[PearlShipping|a couple]] though Dawn quickly denies it. In ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'', she attempted to pair [[Khoury]] and {{an|Dawn}} together as a couple before eventually realizing she had feelings for the former.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', she and Khoury had a [[tag battle]] against {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} in the {{to|Lilypad}} Colosseum. Both Lyra and Khoury eventually lost the battle.

Later they headed back to [[Johto]] with [[Khoury's father]]. Lyra plans on challenging [[Whitney]] and [[Morty]]. Also, upon her request, Khoury decided to become her traveling buddy. They promised Ash and Dawn that they would see them again.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Lyra's known Pokémon:

{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Lyra
|pkmn=Marill
|type1=Water
|img=Lyras Marill.png
|epnum=DP143
|epname=An Egg Scramble!
|vajp=Chinami Nishimura
|vaen=Kayzie Rogers
|desc={{p|Marill}} is one of Lyra's main Pokémon and appears to be very affectionate towards her. Marill first appeared in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' and it was because of Marill that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} met Lyra, as they helped it when it was trapped between two buildings near where the [[Johto Festival]] was taking place. In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', Marill was responsible for the gang getting trapped in the [[Valley Windworks]] when it wandered off during a practice battle between Ash and {{an|Dawn}}.

Marill also appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'' where its sensitive hearing helped the gang search for a {{p|Gible}} that was causing trouble near a Pokémon Center.

Marill's only known move is {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Lyra
|pkmn=Chikorita
|type1=Grass
|img=Lyras Chikorita.png
|epnum=DP143
|epname=An Egg Scramble!
|vajp=Kei Shindō
|vaen=Kei Shindō
|desc={{p|Chikorita}} is Lyra's [[starter Pokémon]] and was used by Lyra to battle Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' as part of the Johto Festival. Despite the type-advantage, Chikorita was defeated by Piplup's {{m|Peck}}.

Chikorita's next appearance was in ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'' where it was used in a tag battle alongside [[Khoury]]'s {{p|Totodile}} against Ash's {{AP|Monferno|Infernape}} and Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Although Chikorita was weak against both Fire-types, it still put up a good fight but was defeated by Cyndaquil's {{m|Flame Wheel}}.

Chikorita's known moves are {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké
|trainer=Lyra
|pkmn=Girafarig
|type1=Normal
|type2=Psychic
|img=Lyras Girafarig.png
|epnum=DP144
|epname=Gone With the Windworks!
|desc=Lyra's {{p|Girafarig}} made a brief appearance in ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'' when it was used by Lyra to try and help the gang escape from the Valley Windworks after becoming trapped. Despite its power, Girafarig was unable to break down the door keeping the gang contained.

Girafarig's only known move is {{m|Double Hit}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Lyra is the first anime character based off of a female [[player character]] seen to have badges.
* She owns the female variation of the [[Pokédex]], as well as the pink model of the [[Pokégear]] introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* In the Japanese version, Lyra makes a pun of her own name by saying ''koto ne?'', which means "right?", at the end of her sentences.
* Lyra sometimes pronounces Dawn's name as '''Dane''' (Japanese: ''Hikarin'').
**[[Marilyn]], the character of the day from ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', also called Dawn ''Hikarin'' in Japanese. However, Marilyn refers to her as '''Dawny''' in the English dub.
